I purchased this bike about 2 months ago, well from the online shop. That was the first time I bought a complete bike on internet, and it was my first bike since I came back from the US. What bothered me about China, let’s say this city, is safety, not only personal properties, you are not safe living in the city. Traffic is so bad that even riding may kill you.
Anyhoo, back to the stolen bike, I never epected that and I locked it every time, but it was just stolen in 2 hours when I was at the gym. I just parked downstairs, and I did that each time. However, things are never safe now. Don’t be silly.
I rode bike in Houston for 6 months, sometimes I just left it outside mall for the whole day and it was there when I came out. Sometimes I left it unlocked if I did not plan to be away for a long time and nothing happened to it.
Thank god it was not the other bike of mine. But I gotta watch out.
Today there came a gang of 3 scamps and sat in our office smoking. When two of them went to the bar, I brought my phone with me and went there too, then they asked what I was doing and I told them that I was just wondering in my own office and nothing else. When he said me holding my phone, he asked if I was taking photos but I said no. Now surprising thing happened, he ordered me to give my phone to him. I was shocked when he asked that. Why in the hell should I give the phone to him, it is my personal property. Yes, I did shoot videos of them, then what? It is my office.
Wenzhou people are unbelievable. It is ridiculous. They are still in our office as of now.
Today is April Fool’s Day, but I don’t fool people, but i am not fooled as well.
It is just another day of life…

Just the day before yesterday, I found my website unaccessible in China, they I called Godaddy.com for support (as my domain is registered and site hosted in Godaddy.com), what they told me was that China seemed to have some kind of FIREWALLS to block certain sites and Godaddy was on the list. I googled it and found that China does have the so called Great Firewall of China, this is so freaking unbelievable.
When I asked them if there was any way to test if my site was blocked by Chinese government for sure, they said nothing they could do and they had no idea about it. However, they suggested me call the Internet Service Provider (ISP) for more information or solutions.
I wondered why my site was blocked, for one my site is personal not commercial, for the other, I did not upload or put any illegal content on my site.
By the way, with my friend’s help, I just found that my site could be opened in his computer which was in Hangzhou. I am in Wenzhou, Zhejiang.
Is my site really blocked by GFC? Does anyone have the same problem? How do you tell if the site is blocked? And how do you do about it?

I just finished watching American Idol Season 8 Ep 14 which is group 2 where the second 12 contestants compete for 3 spots as top 12. But for this show tonight it is just very flat, nothing very exciting. However, it ended very well, it rocked the whole show as I think. Read more…

Hello World!
It has been a long time, two years as I remembered, since my previous site, it is all because I was lazy that the site was abandoned. Now I am back, and I have made up my mind to keep this site going. This will be considered as my very first personal website, totally new.
QQ Zone is disregarded now, so is the MSN space and so on. They are not as good as own site, I can do whatever I want here. I can change, add, delete, approve or block whatever I like to. Things are so easy now.
New year, new beginning, keep moving.
